Hi guys,

Just a little poll about your water consumption habits!
I was just wondering how you deal with drinkable water at home.

Thanks for answering! Smile

Tap water.

And this is the LAST time I answer this question. Mad


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Tap, the water quality is good around here.
I do drink carbonated water occasionally and those are bottled.

Technically tap.
Vast majority of the time I drink tea, well US South tea..make it a gallon at a time and a cup of sugar in it Razz
We have a fridge with a water filter in it if you want to call it that. A fancy cartridge that is just charcoal in a sock really. So I use that when I make it or just right out of the tap itself if I don't feel like standing there waiting for a gallon out of the fridge door dispenser.

But then again up until recently my liquid intake quality and health worries for it hasn't really been a big concern of mine. Up until my late 30's I drank a 2 liter of MT Dew a day as my fluid intake. Laughing
Or when I did construction, whatever random water hose was around and working was where I drank from. (MMM that hot plastic hose flavor...)

Not everyone has access to decent water though. So maybe think broader before it gets into another 'idiots' rant.

As Morphy said, safe and clean tap water isn't a universal thing.

u can choose to not buy bottled tap water and have water from a spring or lake at least, eitherway, which option should those people pick in the poll : tap or bottle ?

I've been relying on an old well with a ghetto purifier for most of my water-y needs, but that obviously is about as drinkable as Fallout's irradiated water so the bottled one has been my only option.

Already started the procedure that will allow me to link the official municipal one to the house *soon* though, so things will likely change. It has a far better quality than what I'm currently using and should be drinkable on paper, but then again with Italy and its infrastructures from the 70s one never really knows. It'll probably be safer to just keep drinking bottled water.

Tap.

We have a SodaStream for carbonised water.

But for a couple of weeks now I've been making my own iced tea, so boiled tap water, Lipton (black) tea and lemon juice with artificial sweetener (diabetes).

I'm becoming a master of brewing that shit lol.

the tap water in germany may be good to drink, but that doesn't mean that i also want to drink it.
im living in an old house, who the fuck knows if there are any lead pipes. i replaced my bathroom faucet two times. one time after moving in and a second time after a few years, both times everything in the pipe was full of dirt. not only the the little filter, but dirt all around the pipe itself. also the water here is very very hard.
of course it's cheaper then bottled water, even the cheapest bottle water (which i drink) but it still costs money and i don't want my yearly billing to go up in anyway. i waste enough water already.

So you don't want to pay more for water, even though you know it's cheaper than the cheapest bottled water (fyi by around a factor of 500)... yeah skip that part Laughing Apart from that I get your concerns with old pipes. Can't you ask your landlord? Generally speaking, our tap water quality standards are much tighter than those for bottled water. We stopped buying bottled water and have a soda maker when waifu wants sparklung water. I dislike the sour taste of home made sparkling water :/

Regarding Britta users: Please do not forget that these water filters LOOOOOOVE to cultivate bacteria :/

my landlord sadly doesn't know shit about anything. Laughing

if i would pay the rent (+water/heater costs) on my own, then that wouldn't be a problem, but that is not the case. im already on the limit which gets payed for me, since i use way too much water already and i don't want any problems at the end of the year and suddenly have to pay for everything which is over the limit. so i rather pay 17 cent more for water, knowing that it's cleaner then what is coming out of my tap and also it's sparkling. i would have to pay extra for a sodastream and replacement cylinders then too.

if you don't want it sparkling or got a sodastream and clean pipes then of course go for it, but for me it's way easier like that. im still disgusted by what i have seen after looking into the pipes here, i would need a filter too then.

Ha, look at these third-worlders needing filters for their water. Their glorious leader can't even provide clean water. Sad.
